“You see him? That man down there? He must be drunk… because he’s been sitting there for hours. He looks homeless too, if I had to guess. He’s going to freeze to death if he stays out there any longer. And no one is going over to help or anything. Would you help out that guy? You think that you will stop walking and help that disgusting, stinking drunk, little piece of trash, huh?” — Squid Game
How IRONICALLY LOVELY. That the episodes of Farscape that I absolutely dread.The ones that I usually don’t end up watching past bc they are so emotionally painful. Have started on this. Valentine’s Day. Truly, the Universe has a vendetta against me.
don’t get me wrong I love Benedick and Beatrice so so much, but I never seeing anyone talking about how wonderful Hero and Beatrice’s dynamic is?? Hero has a reputation for being this sweet angel but if you look at her lines, even though they’re short and flowery, she’s always ALWAYS teasing her cousin. she knows EXACTLY what going on in her head and she knows it the whole time. Hero’s literal first line is her like rolling her eyes and saying “yeah my cousin is talking about Benedick. again.” don’t get me started on Hero’s ridiculous garden performance to make Beatrice to realize she’s in love with Benedick. she’s so underratedly funny and Beatrice LOVES her. she loves her!! she’s the first one to notice Hero is fainting at the wedding, she’s the first one to call for help, she probably catches her in her arms as she’s telling everyone that she knows her cousin better than anyone, that they share a room together! they’re never separated! they probably stay up every night with Hero trying to drag emotion out of poor Beatrice who covers everything she means in six layers of jokes!! Beatrice tells her uncle she swears on her soul that Hero is innocent after he disowns her in front of everyone they know. Beatrice doesn’t think twice about this, she doesn’t care about the consequences, she doesn’t worry about whether the only family she has will disown her, too. she just does it. and when none of that works, Beatrice asks Benedick to fight for Hero’s honor. that moment is so, so pivotal for Benedick and Beatrice. it’s crucial. but you can’t understand how much it means unless you understand how much this girl loves her cousin first.
